California Governor Gavin Newsom has called for a full investigation into the failures of fire hydrants and water supplies in Los Angeles County as wildfires continue to ravage more than 35,000 acres, with the death toll rising to 11.

Earlier this week, fire hydrants in the Palisades were reported as unusable, and there were reports of insufficient water from local reservoirs, which hampered efforts to protect homes from the raging fires. In response, Newsom urged county officials to conduct a thorough review and issue a report on these failures.

In a letter to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power CEO Janisse Quiñones and L.A. County Public Works Director Mark Pestrella, Newsom expressed his concerns: “The ongoing reports of loss of water pressure to some local fire hydrants during the fires and the unavailability of water supplies from the Santa Ynez Reservoir are deeply troubling.”

Although winds were expected to calm between Friday and Saturday, officials warned that strong gusts could return by Sunday, with the death toll from the fires expected to climb. Wildfires have already injured both firefighters and residents and forced evacuation orders for over 153,000 people.

Currently, six large wildfires are burning across Los Angeles County, with the Palisades and Eaton fires being the most devastating in the state’s history. Both fires remain dangerously under 10% containment.

Kathryn Barger, a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, described the scene at the Eaton Fire, stating, “It looks like a war zone. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
